- Wide receiver will miss large portion of 2022 NFL season
- New Orleans Saints close in on Tyrann Mathieu deal
The Arizona Cardinals’ three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins has been suspended without pay for six games for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. The league announced the suspension on Monday.
It’s a stunning blow for the Cardinals, who finished with an 11-6 record last season but faded down the stretch when Hopkins was out of the lineup because of injuries. Now they’ll be without the 29-year-old for a big chunk of the upcoming season.
